Abstract
An association between cerebral palsy and cryptorchism was examined. In a group of 39 severely disabled boys 21 (53.8%) exhibited cryptorchism to a varying degree. A striking feature was the high proportion with an impalpable testis on one (15.4%) or both (7.7%) sides. Early damage to the fetal hypothalamo-pituitary axis is suggested as the likely causative factor.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
